BP has a fantastic library of episodes dating back to 2013. As I drive a lot for my job, I’m always looking for a solid podcast to listen to.

The Bigger Pockets Podcast - This is how I initially got sucked into the real estate investing world. I will break down most of the resources and provide my own tips on how to best take advantage of them. That’s what I want to provide in this article: a guide to using the BP website and its resources to your greatest benefit. It took time for me to navigate out of the weeds and start digesting this newfound knowledge in an organized and productive way.

But I was quickly overwhelmed on where to start and how best to utilize the site. There I discovered an treasure trove of education and resources to give an aspiring investor like myself the knowledge and tools I needed to get a plan in place and start my investing journey. Soon I was exploring the BP website, and had signed up for a membership. I didn’t anticipate the can of worms I was opening when I started listening to the podcast. Hearing stories of normal people overcoming their fears and obstacles, and persevering to achieve great success gave me hope and excitement that I could do the same, and who knew - maybe even be a BP guest myself some day. But the most inspiring aspect about the show for me was the everyday guests they’d interview who were crushing it in their investing careers. I appreciated the variety of topics they discussed, including mindset (knowing your Why), strategies, choosing your investment team, etc. I enjoyed the hosts’ (Brandon and David) dynamic, how they’d make fun of each other and themselves, all while exuding passion and knowledge about real estate investing. So I looked up the BP podcast, listened to an episode while driving in my truck, and was quickly hooked. And BP was often lauded as the best platform to help aspiring investors get started. My friend repeatedly promoted real estate investing as having the highest potential for asset growth, passive income, and ultimate financial freedom. This was before real estate was ever on my radar of being a feasible investment vehicle. I first heard of Bigger Pockets through a friend’s financial podcast.
